Skin tightening recommendations for post Chin Liposuction?

Question

Hi! A couple years ago I (27 F) got chin lipo and I couldn't be happier with the results! Only thing is the skin there is a little loose now-- it's pretty mild (sort of just looks a little wrinkly up close) and I think I'm probably the only one who can notice it, but I'm looking for procedures that can tighten up the skin. I'm mostly worried it will get worse with age so I'd like to go ahead and try to fix it now. Thank you!!

Hello !

You could benefit from FaceTite.

FaceTite is a novel technique that offers results similar to a traditional facelift, but without visible scarring. The procedure can dramatically enhance skin elasticity on the face and neck, which used to require invasive surgery. FaceTite employs radio-frequency energy in a minimally invasive way to melt fat and firm up the skin. It is carried out under local anesthesia or light sedation, and patients can return home and resume their normal routine shortly after the procedure. The use of a compression garment is recommended to optimize the outcome.

Best of luck !

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. It's important to first determine whether the issue is loose skin or liposuction irregularity. If it's loose skin on the chin, fillers can help lift the skin. However, if you're truly looking for skin tightening, Renuvion Skin Tightening is the best option. Depending on the amount of scar tissue you have, getting Vaser done during the Renuvion procedure may be necessary to achieve optimal results. I recommend discussing these options with a qualified medical professional who can evaluate your unique situation and provide personalized recommendations.

An in person evaluation is always best, but you may be a candidate for Morpheus8.  These treatments combine microneedling with RF technology to improve skin tone and texture.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.  We always recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
